MUC1-C regulates lineage plasticity driving progression to neuroendocrine prostate cancer

MUC1-C is overexpressed in castration-resistant prostate cancer and neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Here, the authors show that MUC1-C drives lineage plasticity through MYC and BRN2, inducing neuroendocrine features and stemness in prostate cancer.
